They’ve still got a copy of The Regulars album in Tempest too! It’s hidden in one of the draws behind the counter I think/allege.

ah, looking through the back catalogue now i can recall seeing all those early single sleeves in the 7″ rack of tempest and never being able to afford them but wondering what they sounded like. the 7″’s in tempest hang about for years though so i might go back now and have a hunt around in there again.

Oh I see how that Pete Green gig in June came about now.

Aw, I am jealous of you Dunc for having seen The Regulars so many times.

Happy birthday to Bearos!

“The Regulars (arguably the only band in history who formed 7 years too late and were 7 years ahead of their time when they broke up)”

*sob*

A huge pat on the back is due to Alan for ten years of Bearos. When he set up the label it really helped to focus all the the amazing creative efforts of the Birmingham underground scene at the time, and brought us some attention and opportunities we wouldn’t otherwise have had. With the likes of Saloon it also opened our eyes to some great music being made in other cities too.

But no, Dunc, you should *keep* being so twee all the time.

Can I come and play at the Autumn Store again?
